From: Frank J. Wancho <WANCHO@simtel20> The slash (or slant) character in TOPS-20 is a special character. It and others that may appear in the filenames stored in MICRO: must be quoted with ^V. To FTP such files, like MICRO:<SIGM.VOL000>SIG/M.CAT, simply precede the slash with ^V (a real CTL-V). If your OS or FTP program can't handle certain characters, try surrounding the entire filename in double-quotes. Note: the requirement for quoting the slash character is why the directory name is "SIGM" rather than "SIG/M". However, the slashes in the individual filenames have been retained to maintain some order. --Frank
